Nothing says you care more than an invitation to share food in your home.
Impress your guests with dinners served in the comfort of your home with service they would expect in an upscale restaurant.
We’ll handle all of the cooking, serving, and cleaning so you can enjoy every minute with your guests. Perfect for corporate dinners, birthdays, anniversaries, executive retreats, romantic dinners for two, and more.
We’re happy to accommodate parties of any size, from two up to as many people as your space will hold. While we like to do most of the cooking on site to keep it as fresh as possible (and allow you to experience the show if you’d like), we also have our own licensed catering kitchen which allows us do prep work in advance. Our team of personal chefs develop a new sample menu for each season, and we are also happy to customize the perfect menu for any event. Check out some sample menus below, as well as some photos of actual dinners we’ve done. You can also check out more pictures, and follow us on Facebook and Instagram.
Call us today at 404-913-4633 to start your custom party quote via phone or click below to get started online.
Below you will find our seasonal menu, which our chefs created to highlight seasonal ingredients and dishes they are passionate about sharing with you. Please use this as a guide, or let us create the perfect custom menu for your occasion.
All full-service dinners include a chef’s selection gourmet cheese board for guests to enjoy before dinner, along with fresh bread and butter presented on the table.

Fixed vs Full Service: What should I choose?
Focused more on an in-home dinner than an elaborate evening with all the bells and whistles? Choose from our Fixed Menu and receive a discount off our full-service menu pricing. This service is for a party of 2-8 guests maximum; it does not include printed menus to adorn the table, a cheese board preparation for before the dinner, plates or candles, or menu customization. For all these extras, please select our full-service option.

Beverages
All alcohol and beverages will be provided by the client. APCS chefs will be available to pour and refill water and wine glasses during the dinner. For coursed wine pairings, additional server(s) will be necessary. A bartender is strongly recommended for full beverage service before and during your dinner (we are happy to provide referrals).
